So the “Rubin Observatory is an extreme case for the sensitivity of astronomical observations to satellite constellations because of its unprecedented ability to repeatedly monitor the sky widely and deeply.”

And their worried about potentially losing as little as 0.3% of pixel level data, that sounds about right. I am not saying it’s impact is meaningless, just they could offset their impact with funding, rather than it being a massive issue on it’s own.
That makes sense if you're talking about getting a stale loaf of bread once in awhile. But if you're talking durable goods, the overhead of one incident erases all potential savings or efficiencies.

No because instead of counting their money after shorting they were greedy and shorted again and again which led to a ridiculous amount of shorts (140% of shares).

As we can see now this was not only foolish but self-destructive. The only scenario where I see this paying off is when GameStop went bankrupt and there was no sign for this at all.

People love when greed gets punished and this is what we are seeing here.

Exactly. My friend made about 10K off of $200 in GameStop calls. He got the advice from his buddy who is a WSBs junkie. That buddy is also bankrupt and his only source of income is WSB. I cant image what his taxes will look like this year.

Clarifying what the duties of an On-Call person are supposed to be would be helpful, too.

Our "on-call" engineer was originally only supposed to handle system-down emergencies, but more and more stuff has continued to pile onto their realm of responsibilities ("Oh, this thing is supposed to happen at 4 AM that no one wants to do? The on-call engineer can handle that!"), to the point that it now feels like an unpaid overtime shift.
>the only solution for the legislator might be to make AI pay taxes as well.

What taxes would AI pay? They're not selling items for profit. The only change that would need to happen is removing the ability to deduct charitable contributions from taxable income. I don't see any problem with that. People can still donate to AI with after tax income.

The interesting thing to me is that -- in so much as this is being done for profit making and not more abstract reasons -- if 90% of the jumpers-on lose their money, it won't necessarily dissuade that many people from the community in the future. There will be a lot of people making a lot or a little money, and sharing their stories, and the ones who lose this round will be able to tell themselves that next time, if they are faster and get out at the right time, they too can be one of the winners...
If you're long Blackberry, depending on how much you paid for the shares you might come out on top in the years ahead.

I happen to be cautiously optimistic about the company, but that is over a longer time-frame. The stock has more than doubled in a couple of weeks and seems to open consistently higher over the past few days. I don't think that is related to any real immediate business prospects. The Facebook settlement, Amazon deal and Huawei patent sales are all good news but hardly warranting the current frenzy.

Apple Patent May Hint at the Future Multi-Level Hybrid Memory Subsystem
Thanks. Yes, I guess if the book isn't about humans at all then he has the ultimate get-out clause with respect to the plausibility of utopia. It would be less interesting to me though. The interesting thing about post-scarcity utopias, to me, are questions like "would it work", "if yes how do we get there" and so on. Whether utopia would work for theoretical beings is ... well, it's sci-fi, so fine, whatever. But I guess it wouldn't have any relevance to questions of politics or ideology.

Svelte compilations work in Sciter.JS ( https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk ) as they are.

And Sciter.JS is an embeddable UI engine for native applications so you probably don't need dedicated svelte-native at all.

For that matter Sciter.JS already allows to build native Mithril.JS and PReact.JS applications too.
For iOS and macOS there is Interface Builder that is somewhat like that. It seems to have fallen out of favour. I‘m not really sure why but I know I prefer developing code based UI as well.

There's shortly going to be chaos when everyone learns a basic lesson: you have to sell into strength, not weakness.

When the stock hit $100, people bought. Same at $250. It'll be the same at $420.69, $1,000 - whatever. But whenever it crests, it'll sink FAST. A sell order at $1000 will get filled at $200. Everyone knows it.

Which makes for an interesting collective action problem: you have to hold hold hold - and then be the FIRST to dump. Not the third, the FIRST.

I completely agree. Ikea really seems like a bit of unicorn in this space to my mind too. In the world of products that are affordable they tend to also be ugly or lacking consideration. Ikea offsets this by over-valuing considered design compared to nearly everyone and then making novel manufacturing concepts.

There really is something about a company that provides incredibly cheap products with a LONG return policy and good design to the masses. Plus their products might use a lot of wood, but they also offset it with renewable initiatives and by putting a lot of time into efficient shipping.
Of course, but at a distance where the effect is noticable and the crop level required, you would be left with just a handful of pixels, so effectively, this is limited to high focal length lenses. And sice high enough focal lengths onyl come in telephoto lenses, this is basically limited to those.

Something You Can’t Understand
Manufacturers add fat or sugar to their product to make them more palatable or attractive. Flashy packaging or celebrity endorsement also helps.
Social media is similar in many ways. Games, daily challenges, rewards, sense of belonging etc.
In both instances you have to recognize what is beneficial to you and at what point is a waste of time or unhealthy.

It's hard to do it for adults and it's hard or impossible to do for children and teenagers.

Also, as with everything, everyone's experience will be different. In food example, some people can manage their calories better than other. Some are easily addicted or depressed. It's the same with social media or internet content in general.

No doubt. I definitely have faith that the company itself is smarter than the current euphoria so I guess I just hope it does nothing to tarnish them because they've made major strides and frankly I'd just like to see a Canadian tech company do some good. Thankfully, yes, I got in cheap.
A close friend of mine filled his house entirely with furniture, including couches, from the 1800s. Antique grandfather clocks, pianos, tables, armoires, etc. Not surprisingly, this person is highly skilled with wood and works at a small furniture shop that makes high-quality tables and chairs.

Things made out of wood can last centuries. There's no need to further accelerate our throwaway culture with throwaway furniture.

For this reason primarily, I hate IKEA and do not buy from them. I prefer to buy actual furniture made by actual people. Reward local artisans, businesses, and shops and avoid waste. Reject globalism. It is what is eating the planet.

On the flipside, there's increasingly more and more amateur porn. On pornhub, there are many couples making videos of themselves and getting millions of views, making a living off of this. What these people make is obviously still probably setting high expectations (good lighting, edited to cut out the awkward parts, etc), but IMO, there is a lot more amateur and realistic content out there, and it's what many people want to see. I think in the 70s, 80s and 90s porn used to be a lot more studio, and now the general trend is for more natural, less processed.

I first got access to porn when I was 12, but I heard the disclaimer, everyone told me it wasn't realistic, and I don't think it skewed my expectations too much. IMO humans learn and adapt. I don't think that porn is a threat, but I do wish there was more sex education, and maybe relationship coaching for teenagers... Teenagers need to be taught early to have realistic relationship expectations in general, how to approach someone respectfully and accept "no" for an answer, consent, etc.
Right, but some people are doing data wrangling by themselves with python in a jupyter notebook. These aren’t production systems, and static type checking slows you down without adding much value.

That’s all I’m saying, the data analyst that has some edge case “bug” that never gets executed probably shouldn’t pay the upfront overhead cost of type checking.

I think this is key and great documentation is one of the most underrated parts of business. Stripe nailed this. Digital Ocean nailed this. Most places don't or can't.

FWIW, I recently learned that Wikipedia has list of perennial sources. The entry for Newsweek 2013-present says "not reliable".

This is a great take and a good set of questions. I totally agree on being more concrete and specific to get, at least, closer to the responses you are looking for. I feel like I have asked some more open ended questions, which can be good, but for finding specific info quickly (as time is limited in interviews), putting a sort of spin on those questions makes sense.
The stock is going up because of shorts. If the cycle of old shorts covering and new shorts taking positions continues, combined with the positive feedback loop of retail FOMO, the stock will continue to go up.

Unfortunately, I disagree. I think there will be stories written for the next bit about the handful that make bank, very few stories written about the people who lose their shirts and end up with their financial life in ruins.

We're all well aware of the unix/c coupling. What I'm saying is that for low level memory mangling and primitive operations over the set of register based machines.. you don't get any benefits from using another language it seems. I.. just a dude but some people doing HPC said that you can even reach FORTRAN speed on numerics if you fiddle with the right keywords to avoid aliasing.

Again I'm not a C fan.. but what would pascal or basic give you that is a critical factor in making a better system with it ? modula I can't say. Asm is too coupled to the underlying cpu it's out of the window already.

My major problem with Milgram is about the "learner". As far as the participants of the experiment are told the learner is, like them a volunteer. That means the learner has just as much autonomy to end the experiment as the teacher.

So why isn't the learner calling an end to the experiment - why should this be on the teacher to call it quits? Either the learner is making a fuss, but that's just how they react to a bit of pain (think about how people can squeal getting into a cold bath voluntarily) but they are happy to continue. Alternatively they are being actively coerced into continuing - in which case the correct response for the teacher is what exactly?

Maybe try and jump the supervisor and make a bolt for the door? You are clearly trapped by some kind of sadistic serial killer and you are unlikely to make it out alive.

I used to think this. I used to watch a lot of media from youtube creators that were previously part of the atheism movement and gradually transitioned into right wing content. Once I started also consuming media from people on the left, I found that this was a caricature designed to prevent me from listening to people on the left that did have good points.

Yes there are extremists that like to shout, but they are in the minority or a person in riled up circumstances.
I was also rendered a paperweight when my wife was in labor and took her to the hospital. I was there to respond to banal questions, age, address, etc. They insisted that she answers those questions instead and yeah - it took them a while to get them in between her screams of agony and pain. I was sent to the “family room” and told not to come back until they call me. My wife really wanted me there, the whole thing was so frustrating. Of course they asked her whether I was abusing her and I sort of understand why but still, I was treated negatively and they assumed the worst. Eventually I was allowed to be present at the birth as we knew the doctor from previous visits but again..
I wanted to edit an article about an obscure religious group that included some blatantly wrong statements about the espoused ideology. They had an academic tertiary source making these claims extrapolated from reaearch by the same author that made both plausible claims but also included similar inferences. Being a very obscure group there aren't many other academic sources discussing it. All literature that could disprove these claims comes from non-academics affiliated with the group which are a no-go.

As per Wikipedia rules (which took hours to figure out), there's not much one can do short of getting some impartial or friendly academic to publish a more reasonable article.
Political trials, formal and informal, against "class enemies" are typical of extremist left wing movements. See for example Maoist "struggle sessions", which seem nothing else than an in-person version of a twitter mob:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_session

Note that the targets of cancel culture are in the most proper sense "class enemies" since their sins are not directed against specific individuals but entire classes of people: blacks, women, transsexuals, etc.- and can be as vague as dismissive attitudes or generic antagonism.
In this context stateless usually refers to access to the wider system. When an html page loads, it has no state it can access right away, it has only raw data in the url and cookies. You are constantly having to recreate the state of the system as a user moves from one page to another. Design patterns like react are a natural fit for this system, its turtles all the way down.

Applications on the other hand start their lifecycle as a singleton and because you can guarantee a parent child relationship from top to bottom it tends to facilitate design patterns with sharing of state more easily between pages.
This doesn't have to do with GameStop as a company -- they are merely the rope in a tug of war between retail investors and wall st. Buying shares seems like the easy way to turn 1k into 10k given how many success stories have happened over the last few days.
I disagree that they are distinct issues. Ultra low interest rates inflating their market cap gives them access to capital and in turn power to lobby for favorable tax policies, trade policies etc.

Bingo. Maybe people don't realize that Ikea makes both low-end and mid-range products. They will gladly sell you a $25 entertainment center (Lack-based) and a $500 entertainment center. The expensive items last and many classic designs remain at steeply discounted prices from original manufacture date. (For example, the Pöang originally costing ~$300 adjusted is now $79.)
